Fredau with a blade BTS movie (Patreon)

I've had the pleasure of working with Fredau over a period of three three days. This set is from a studio day where I was playing with hard light. In this case, I used a Fresnel spot from a distance to give a really hard light and avoid light hitting the ceiling and thus reflecting everywhere. The challenge was mostly getting good background separation, which I accomplished by placing a big foam board in the path of the light to cast a shadow.

As you can see in this video, I pay a lot of attention to making sure I don't have light reflecting from unwanted places. That is a significant part of achieving a clean look for my lighting.

It's only the first 4 min that is interesting - on the rest I start setting up some other lighting
